How not to start NHL training camp (Josh Ho-Sang)

[Table 5]

There must've been a separate knob for the radio alarm.

Maybe he forgot to set it to AM instead of PM

[Sainters7]

Why, separate knob?? WHY?!?

If I have an important meeting early in the day - I set my phone alarm and regular alarm to make sure I wake up.
I imagine what the Islanders find so offensive is that he cared so little to make sure he was there.
He either learns the hard lesson, or this is who he is. I guess we will find out.

Good to know I'm not the only one that does this.

Any remotely intelligent person does this if something is really important. Or even somewhat moderately important.

Damn that sucks but I am not to surprised a teenager slept in . That can be an honest mistake he can learn from. Hell, which one of us has never slept in by accident. I have to set up 10 alarms every mourning because sleep right through 80% of them.

The punishment is harsh but considering how many players are competing for such few spots the decision to cut him based on punctuality was obvious

An interesting comment from an ex-Flame in the comments section:

"It was mandatory that we had to trade him," said Spitfires president and head coach Bob Boughner at the time. "For many, many, numerous internal reasons, the people that truly know what went on behind the scenes would understand why we had to trade him. We might not be a better team in the standings because of it, but we're definitely a better team within our four walls and it's only going to help for the future."

Honestly probably very few on the first day of a new job.

It only took one missed flight to a job interview to turn me into an alarm clock redundancy convert.

I've slept in by accident but never on a morning where I had to do something really important. If you care about something, you damn sure make you it doesn't happen.

Why? Around 1500 players reported to NHL training camps today, probably 500 of them had 9am ice times and only 1 of them didnt show up on the ice.....just because.

With his age, reputation and past, if Im Islanders management I beyond pissed. The black mark he is painting on himself is getting long and dark.

Exactly, if I have to be up early I set two tablets + two alarms at varying lengths from my bed to make sure that I get up. if it's important you do what you got to do.

[Point Blank]

Didn't something very similar happen with Kirill Kabanov and the Islanders just a couple of years ago?

That's the most damning thing I've read about him. All the other articles seem to say he's just a misunderstood teen but according to Boughner he was affecting the team with his shenanigans so badly he had to get rid of him.

[pseudoreality]

I seem to remember a similar thing happending to Steve Kariya something like 15 years ago in Vancouver. He didn't get sent home, but had to sit out a day of camp or something like that. It's really hard to make the team when you sit out.

[sureLoss]

He blew a big opportunity.

Isles had him on a line with Tavares and Lee for the first day and potentially further through camp:

Maybe. What it doesn't say is how he reacted. "I'm sorry, coach. It won't happen ever again." is quite a bit different than "I just slept in! People do it all the time!"
